Question

Give the balanced chemical equation for the reaction in which; when heated with Sulfur($\mathrm{S}$), iron($\mathrm{Fe}$) form iron II sulfide($\mathrm{FeS}$).

Answer 1

Answer

Note: Steps used for finding balanced chemical equation

• Count each type of atom in reactants and products.
• Place coefficients as needed, in front of the symbol or formula to increase the number of atoms or molecules of substances
• repeat steps 1 and step 2 until the equation is balanced.

So the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is given by;

$\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+\mathrm{S}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\stackrel{}{\stackrel{∆}{\to }\mathrm{FeS}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}$
